Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) Beef (such as sirloin or flank steak), thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Red Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1 Green Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1 Yellow Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1 medium Onion, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 2 cups Cooked Rice (white or brown)
- 1 tbsp Sesame Oil (optional, for extra flavor)
- Garnish: Sesame seeds and chopped green onions
Instructions
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
- In the same pan, add the bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften but remain crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and black pepper.
- Return the beef to the skillet with the vegetables, then pour the sauce mixture over everything. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the beef and vegetables.
- Drizzle sesame oil over the mixture for extra flavor, if desired.
- To serve, spoon the beef and pepper mixture over a bowl of cooked rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Notes
- For added crunch, you can top the rice bowl with some chopped peanuts or cashews.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, you can add a chopped chili pepper or a dash of chili flakes to the sauce.
